Mono/Mammoth Covid & Conditions Update

Dang. What day is it? For that matter, what month is it?

The struggle is real to come up with ways to describe our current situation because I have a long list of sayings that I would never like to hear -- much less use -- again:

• uncertain times
• the new normal
• unprecendented moment
• abundance of caution

But like most super-annoying, trite colloquialisms, these phrases are over-used because they are also accurate, and necessary.

So rather than blather on, I'll just leave this here: despite a frightening early peak of cases, Mammoth and Mono County stayed strong and they have crushed the curve.

Early on, Mammoth Mountain shut down operations and Mono County and Mammoth Lakes activated a Emergency Operations Center. They actively discouraged visitors (and even second home owners) from traveling in. Largely because of the adoption of fairly extreme distancing measures, the EOC had time to manage the local Covid-19 situation and increase healthcare capacity. 

As of today, no one is hospitalized for Covid 19 in Mono County. There have been 29 positive Covid-19 tests of 313 tests given.

Mammoth is now working toward a June 1 opening to visitors and we are also hoping to be allowed to host visitors soon.
